Juventus 'keeping tabs on Tottenham Hotspur's Mousa Dembele'

Juventus are reportedly considering lodging a bid for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele.

The Belgium international is out of contract at White Hart Lane at the end of next season and is yet to open discussions about a new deal.

Spurs are expected to hold contract talks with Dembele after the World Cup but, according to the Evening Standard, Juve are monitoring the situation and could offer him an alternative option.

The Old Lady are said to have been impressed with Dembele's performances when they played Spurs in the Champions League, a tie the Italian side won over two legs.

According to the report, Juve have switched their attention to the Spurs star after admitting defeat in their efforts to sign Liverpool's Emre Can.
